  1. why on earth did they feel the need to make mounted units so good in FE4?

      well it's just that normally I don't use mounted units much because I personally don't like horses, but there really is little choice in FE4. You ride or die out here.

      I prefer foot units generally too but FE4's just way too big. You already have to spend too much time moving units from point A to B in that game, imagine doing it with no horses.

      and heaven forbid the random barbarian on the map have time to loot the village which provides a vital ring or stat bonus. I guess the map size is to be expected when the game has a total of 12 maps to go through, but it is just somewhat unfortunate. I feel like there should be at least two Leg rings in the game, but there's unfortunately only the one, meaning you can only have a couple foot soldiers, max, keep up with the vanguard. 

  2. I decided to replay FE4 again because procrastination and I decided to give Arden a shot this time around. I mean, statistically, he's not awful. He has nonexistent Speed, but that doesn't matter as much in FE4 as in other games unless you have Pursuit. Skill and Resistance aren't things he will ever have much of, but that's kinda expected of generals in Fire Emblem. The stat he is truly hampered in is obviously movement since he has no hose in Horse Emblem. A shame, since he starts with 13 in Strength and Defense at level 3, weapon triangle advantage in the first two levels, and first pick on the legendary Pursuit Ring.

      Eh, I tend to value Lex x Ayra over Arden x Ayra since Lex actually makes the kids have higher defense than the generation 1's General holy blood is literally OP. And personally I like Azel with Tiltyu since that allows Arthur to be a mobile Magical powerhouse, like his father before him, which is important since you don't exactly have many units in Gen 2 who are mobile and have strong magic stats (I guess there's Magic Sword Miracle Lord Seliph and Ced with the Leg Ring, but that's about it). I'm still not planning on pairing Arden with anyone simply because that would force his lover to dawdle back with him and lose out on a lot of precious xp, but I do want to use him in combat to some extent. The guy may not get laid, but he will be appreciated.

      Well yeah, he's going to be outclassed no matter who you try to give him lol. I was just offering suggestions. Ive actually been doing some odder pairnigs recently, and like half my gen 2 is magical. Light Brand based god Seliph, Azel!Delmud/Nanna are great with magic swords, Claude!Ced/Fee both get his good magic growth for magic swords in Fees case, and his staves get passed down far earlier than waiting for Corple, Lewyn!Arthur/Tinny gives early nukage Forseti and high evade wrath units, and Holyn!Patty has more magic than strength...for some reason.

      There are certainly some fun combos to be explored, that's for sure. Lex!Arthur/Tinny gives the infamous Vantage/Wrath combo, Lweyn!Arthur produces what a lot of the more "advanced" FE players refer to as "Horseti" or a secondary win button (after Miracle Lord Seliph) because horses+legendary wind magic is actually absurd. Lester would also be broken if he had access to his cousin's bow. It's especially fun to tinker with inheritance with the rings and certain weapons, so there's always more to test out. 

  3. I'm reading an interesting book which compiles the changes in the polarization of individuals as a result of geographical location and various preferences. I might post a discussion about some of the concepts when I finish it off. 

  4. So far my assessment is that the two biggest winners of the dawn of the 7th Gen competitive scene are Psychic Fangs Carvanha down in LC and foul Play Mandibuzz to destroy the insane threats in OU.

  5. The more I play, the more I enjoy the Sun/Moon metagame.

  6. Sun and Moon LC is fun

      is type null considered LC?

      apparently it's unobtainable at pevel 5 since you obtain it at level 40 and it cannot breed.

      Well, it's kinda like Scyther

  7. Pokemon will never explain how the protagonists always know how to play the flute, will they?

    1. Ironbound

      Apparently playing a flute is as innate a skill as not being able to swim or dive without the help of a Pokemon.

      I'm very skilled at not being able to swim

  8. Route 6: AKA the road Gamefreak intentionally made completely straight to have mercy on breeders

    1. Azeria

      They also made 2 areas that you can endlessly go in a circle in...and Tauros makes hatching super quick too.

    2. AuthorReborn

      AuthorReborn

      true, although I've always prefered straight lines since running in circles makes me dizzy. plus, Gamefreak was extra nice by putting Fletchling an extra route away from the nursery, allowing easy Flame Body access. Smogon Birb may be bad now, but Flame Body is still excellent.

  9. going from playing The Last Promise, a fan hack of FE7 where all the characters are decent, to FE6 is actually painful.

  10. seriously tho, screw whoever decided to put manaketes in the desert with a fog of war and a time limit for the gaiden in FE6

      also, while that may be, IntSys, you only have about a one space allowance for visability on the manaketes before you are in range barring your mandatory thief for a desert map.

    3. IntSys

      Have you considered bringing a Torch staff or some torches?

    4. AuthorReborn

      AuthorReborn

      eh I had this save from a little while ago and just got back around to continuing it. Also, the devs must think they're so funny, putting torches in the shop at the end of the level.

  11. anyone got some songs from musicals they would recommend? I kinda love musicals a lot but live in too rural a place to actually see them with any regularity.

      I've been pretty obsessed to Little Shop of Horrors for a couple years now, I'm just trying to expand my audio library now.

      Also, I will check out all of those. Thanks for your suggestions, everyone!

      ;__; little shop is like the most basic suggestion ever but it's fantastic lmao

      i've been doing theater for like 6-7 years at this point and it's definitely my number 1

  12. Yes, there has been more data uncovered from the Sun and Moon demo including learnsets, names, and stats. You can see all the newly datamined info on Youtube on Kaphothics' channel, but please respect the desires of those who do not want to be spoiled by not discussing it in statuses or openly on the server.

      I actually actively mark anything Pokemon-related as "Not interested" on Youtube. Not because I'm not interested, but to avoid as many spoilers as I can, and it's been working out for me so far.

      Thank you. Thankfully I've managed to avoid all of that stuff.

      How did they get their hands on a copy of the game? They should really keep those under better custody.

  13. You know you're playing an FE fan game when there's an Assassin whose name is actually death, but prefers to go by Shadow.

      I would recommend looking up the sidequest guide if you are going to play it since there are some easily missable bits that really hurt you to not have.

    3. HughJ

      They could have at least used anglicized japanese words for death and shadow

    4. AuthorReborn

      AuthorReborn

      to be fair, his name isn't actually death, it's Thanatos, the Greek word for death

  14. tbh I don't understand why people want to drive

      Pyon Pyon Kyuu!~

      The fact that public transportation is not only expensive but also incredibly unoptimized and won't take you to half the places you want to go. I also live pretty far from the city so any time I want to travel I have to pay even more than a regular person would want to. That combined with the fact that driving can be fun and it's a skill that can be necessary in a pinch. Oh and it also helps you gain access to certain jobs, for example around here if you want to be a sound engineer fo...

      ...r small companies you have to have a license because they expect you to drive with the equipment to the site.

      Practicality above much else.

  15. knowing secrets is fun

  16. well dang. that just happened

  17. stressed out and tired. phew

  18. A lot of Pokemon are like weird, ancient relics that are discovered by protagonists and have their true powers unearthed. They seem useless at first, but with a bit of work and dedication, they end up pulling off combos that no other mon is capable of.

  19. tbh I think the people who write the SWTOR patch notes have a lot of fun doing so http://prnt.sc/cyt4y8

  20. getting something done before it is due is such a alien yet relieving feeling

  21. Time to retake the ACT. Wish me luck, folks.
